19 hours without internet!

Some people might know (and those people probably can't check LJ right now, but oh well) that something messed up really bad with Videotron and about half the province has been without high-speed net access since 7 pm last night. Withdrawal symptoms! Oh noes!

Other than no internet, I've been very happy with the last day or so. I did very little except a bit of Pennsic prep: took my car into the garage (and brought it back afterwards), picked up a car charger for my ipod so that I can listen to music on the way down, started planning out the second of my two classes (I've done the first so much that all I need to do, really, is print out the handout). Also, I bought about 70 small beads to give to performers I like and to use as tokens and largesse. They're small but pretty, and it's the thought that counts, right? I've been meaning to do something like this for the last two years, so I'm happy I finally managed it.

Now I'm at the hospital. Yes, again. My throat is still sore, but not nearly as bad as a few days ago. I suspect it may get worse tonight, since I'm going to be around cats, but there's nothing for it. Heal, little voice, heal! I need you intact for Pennsic!

All right, enough foolishness. Back to the reason I'm here, which is Ian's mom (presently sleeping). TTFN.
